1. You're on!

It was 2 years after Nessie's birth. Charlie called today, It pains me to think that i wont be able to see him for very much longer. But at least i had a couple of years. Edward seems very cheerful today. I hope he won't bug Alice. Yesterday she stopped me in the middle of our shopping trip, and told me that she isn't afraid to hurt Edward. I'm not to sure what it means. But that's not why I'm worried about Edward. Every day he's showing up less and less in her thoughts. She's spending so much time with Jake. They might as well be welded together.

NO! Momma. Nessie said stubborn.

We were trying to get her to eat human food. She would have to start preschool soon, and I don't think the teacher would like it if we brought her bottles of blood to give for Nessie.

Fine then, run along. I said with a sigh. Edward sensed my distress and put his arms around me.

"Don't worry, She'll catch along soon." He said tenderly staring at me with his golden eyes.

I started to say something but then he stared off into space and withdrew his hold on me.

"Whats wrong?" I asked starting to get worried. But he just ignored me. Suddenly he just started smiling at me and hugged me closer.

, "What's with the change in attitude?" I asked

"Oh, that. Well, I just had an idea."He said grinning intensely

"And what would that be?"I asked, my face contorting into a confused expression.

Without any warning he picked me off my feet and started spinning me, but gave me no answer

He put me down and smiled my favorite crooked smile.

"Emmet."Edward said. Still smiling a very wide smile.

Then Emmet popped out from across the corner looking embarrassed like he was caught eavesdropping.

"Would you please like to help us work out a little bet." Edward said very Gentleman- like.

Emmet and I both had the same confused expression on our faces.

Emmet sat on a chair beside me in the kitchen, and we started to babble at each other.

"So you and Ed here, have a bet ?" Emmet whispered. Right when Em said My husbands nickname I heard Edward growl a little. I knew he didn't like nicknames.

"How about whoever loses has to eat whatever Jacob does for a week?" I said

"Sounds good." They both said at the same time.

Emmet started getting bored and went to bug Alice.

"Jacob! Stop talking about me!" I yelled. Making sure he heard. Then again, everybody in the house could hear.(not just because they're vampires.) Jake was telling Alice about my depressing preteen years. "Arg!" I growled. I was surprised when Alice poked her head out over the stairs. "I'm sorry Bella," Alice said trying to hold back giggles."it's just so funny." She tipped her head back and laughed hysterically.

I saw Edward sitting on the couch, which seemed like a good idea.

I sat beside him on the lovely 200,500 thousand dollar couch . He put his arm around me. "So, first one to get Nessie to eat human food on her freewill, wins?" he asked me.

I was silent but he understood my answer.

"So," he whispered. "Where does this leave us?" he started leaning towards me. I suddenly lowered my head until foreheads were almost touching.
